[TV/Books] Game of Thrones ***SPOILER Discussion***

[IIamaKing]

Pretty much the only thing we knew about the NK was his powers and how he was created. Its not a stretch the big blade in the center of his chest might be important.

Valyrian steel is made of dragon fire. Dragon fire didnt kill him. There was no proof in the show valyrian steel was gonna work just because it worked on his animated dead.

Vsteel was shown to flat out kill Walkers, that's as much as we need. Vsteel Creation is a mystery to us TV viewers. Whats in the book is moot. Vsteel special, It Kills Walkers.

Battle scenes give no substance. It has no worth other than giving low IQ people something to fap to.

I’m a historian.

Jesus fucking christ.

Tell me, does the look on Jaqen's face when Arya accounces her intentions to leave indicate one of failure to you? Because it sure doesn't me. And yes, as I explained in that very post it was quite obvious that Jaqen was pretty adept at sneaking around and killing people at will in an actual military camp, presumably with no face-changing necessary.

Arya clearly hadn't been deigned "unworthy" by the Faceless God as she quite obviously employs their methods after leaving, including wearing other people's faces. Everything you've typed on this is nothing short of complete mental gymnastics on your part and apparently selective memory about the entirety of Arya's relationship with Jaqen and the Faceless Men. You mentioned being told to go watch it again, I don't recall saying that to you but I will say it now: if you're going to attempt to go this indepth on what happened there, you might watch it again, because it's very clear your memory is shit on it.

exactly. the only part of the training arya "failed" was giving up her old life and identity and comp letely giving herself to the faceless god. she obviously learned to use faces, learned to stealth, and learned to kill.

This battle was one of the worst ever made, anything can be better than this.

I’m really critical of this episode but I disagree. They did a great job of displaying a feeling of hopelessness and despair. I had to pause at a few points to ready myself for what might come. The issue isn’t with battle as much as how easily and quickly the entire enemy was defeated by a single character.

I meant in scope, they didn't have 2 55 days of filming battles, they had one, we saw it last night. I will be honest I will not be surprised if there isnt a major conflict.

[Tabrotar]

Just remember its called game of thrones not game of night king, he was only there to unite the people nothing else he was never going to kill everyone

No it´s called "A Sonf of Ice and Fire" a game of throes was what the first book was called...

[NihilSustinet]

Factually incorrect. You're just upset that I think battle scenes are for people who are too easily amused by BOOM BANG POW! DRIGINS! FLYING! WOW! EXPLOWWWSHIONS!!! WEEE!!!

It IS for children.

There are countless articles lambasting against Marvel's long battle scenes, along with countless other movies. I'm not the only one who feels this way.

It is low IQ. "Wow a nipple!"

"WOW EXPLOSIONS! HE HELD THE GATE! OH MY GOD!"

you must be a lot of fun at parties. and no, you arent the only humorless, emotionless, and undeservedly arrogant person in the world, but it doesnt make you smart.

You are just overly dramatic, easy to impress. The only moment of hopelessness was when the NK raised all those corpses, but of course, plot armor activated and nothing really happened out of that.

Literally how many people don’t know this is sad

1. I think (and this is only my theory) Bran knew things had to happen the way they did in order for the pieces to fall into place. He had to lure him in with crows, Jon and Dany had to battle him to knock him off his dragon, Jon had to chase him to slow him down a moment, Theon bought an extra few seconds and all added up to Arya being there just at the right time. Might be wishful thinking but that's how it sort of was portrayed to me. Lots of little pieces of a jigsaw all slotting into place which would make sense with how Bran has been and what he says about who he is now and what he can do.

2. I'm hoping there's more story with Bran and his connection to the NK even if the NK is gone now. We've seen Bran can see the past and even effect it, I'm hoping that plays into it a bit otherwise if the whole thing was just to show why Hodor said Hodor, it's a lot of wasted potential.

Not even sure why the crows were there. The NK knows where Bran is at all times thanks to his mark, no need for them as a lure, and was revealed to Dany and Jon by attacking them, not by the crows as well. The dragon wouldn't change much, Bran by himself is no more capable of defending his crippled ass against a dragon than against a sword.

The only possible point is that the NK used Viseryon to block the entrance to the Godswood, which wouldn't be required if no army was there. But that's still a huge stretch and doesn't change the fact that having a 80 minute battle be entirely decided by a 18 year old superninja going full anime is unsatisfying to me.

Watch out boys, the historian is getting triggered and calling everyone low IQ.

Also if you let your kids watch GoT I would had to question your parenting skills. Nothing says kid friendly like soft core porn, gore and dismemberment.

Wait, if it's so low IQ for children, why are you watching it and here in this thread?

Which is a good thing, right?

Not when you only have 3 episodes to wrap things up I guess.

Besides, it feels somewhat meaningless to just go back to what it was after all the major characters experienced an apocalyptic war.

They should be humbled and understanding after this trauma.

Im actually pretty jaded when it comes to cinema. But the battle was well done, poor decisions aside. The moment the Dothraki charged with swords blazing but were quickly snuffed out you realize the undead force is way bigger than your thought. For every thing they throw at the Night King, he has an answer. And that’s really why the Arya kill is so lame. The NK countered all their best, Dothraki, Dragons, Unsullied but he couldn’t counter a 70lb little girl

i really kind of wonder if that's what was intended, just wasnt communicated very well.

Going back to After the Episode, they killed the Dothraki to build tension...lol.....

Yeah well sometimes stealth and skill beats brute force. In fact, many a king has fallen to a well-placed blade when entire armies couldn't fell them.

I just can't believe so many people don't think that performance was as rad as I did.

[Ihavewaffles]

It wont top what we have seen, if there even IS one. This was the BIG 55 days of filming battle.

It will easily top this one, cuz this one we didn't even see properly..
